Don't let its name fool you; this is no pizza joint or greasy little Italian bistro.  Entering its patio, you will be intrigued by the fairy lights lighting all the cropped, perfect little topiaries on every side, these trumped by a full size royal palm growing through the floor.  The setting is elegant, slightly subdued, with the whiff of class permeating the impeccably laid table linens.  The service is impeccable: the food even more so.  Although it does suffer from the "samesame" menu that plagues Santo Domingo (most restaurants have the same dishes on offer, with only slight variations), the chef proves the power of knowing how to season and knowing your ingredients resulting in an innovative preparation of the classics.  Not to be missed are the house sushis, the calamari salad and the fondant au chocolat dessert.  The portions, for being such a fancy place, are very large and many starters would serve as a decent main meal.  Please, leave room for dessert and be sure to pre-order your fondant 20 minutes in advance, it will arrive piping hot with a liquid sweet centre, presented in a ramekin accompanied by a caged scoop of unctuous vanilla ice cream. The drinks are affordable, the house wine very decent and although you will spend a touch more than in other establishments, the flavors dancing on your tongue, the breeze caressing your face and spectacular view will make every last centavo worth it.
